is 10 bear children-and when the great
misfortune of war overtakes nation, there
is deep solicitude for the welfare of the
women and children-it is always women
and children. In such matters women are
always associated with children-as help
less and dependent. and they occasion
the men folks great anxiety. 1t is q cor
rect theory in human affairs that iudi-
viduals shall take the fullest measure of
responsibility consequent upon their acts.
But We have stated case in which women
cannot assume such responsibilities. What
do women, who demand suffrage, reply?
They do not reply. They do not discuss
such phases of the subject. They are suf-
fciently shrewd to let such propositions
severely alone and yet the fact that every
citizen is held responsible for the conse-
quences OF his vote, is fundamental. 1t is
a bedrock proposition. 1t may be said,
and doubtless Is said, that in case of war,
all the men do not shoulder arms, that
many remain at home to supply the
"sinews of war" True, but some do go to
war, while no woman goes to war. It may
be said that women make good nurses, etc.,
but good nurses are not soldiers. They do
not storm batteries; they do not repel in
vaders; they do not conquer armies nor
win victories. Now, it may be right to
give women the ballot, but yet there is
something in the proposition that those
who WELD the ballot, shall, in all cases, be
responsible for consequences. As in some
cases women cannot be responsible, the
question arises: Is not limited suffrage
for women, a suffrage, for instance, which
relates to educational affairs, about all that
is required2 The question is up for debate,
and those who are inclined can state their
views.

r. B, HAYES.

+. B. Hayes, at a meeting of the Inter
national Prison Congress, which assembled
in Toronto on the 10th inst, enlightened
the delegates by pointing out some of the
difficulties in the way of prison reform.
That R. B. Hayes should be at the head of
a Prison Reform Association, or a Prison
Congress, is to be accounted for only upon
the theory that the average Republican
monstrosity is never so happy as when it
is most conspicuous. II r. B. Hayes had
been simply the beneficiary of a crime
which deies exaggeration, his position
would have been sufficiently infamous to
have gratified any ordinary villain of the
burglar breed, but when he and John
Sherman raped the treasury of the people
to reward the sans-culotte scsmps who per-
petrated the frauds forgeries and perjuries
which made the contamination of a crime
possible, then r. B. Hayes gravitated to
the depths of dishonor, disgrace, ignominy
and obloquy, reached by no other Ameri-
can, living or dead. This r. B. Hayes told
the Prison Congress that one OF the obsts-
cles in the way of reform of convicts is the
disinclination of the people to have conf
dence in him when released from duress,
and the New York Tribune, in comment
ing upon the subject, most graphically de-
picts the condition of r. B. Hayes. 1t
is condition which the Tri-
buns well says cannot be cured
by legislation" The position of
society toward the released convict is one
says the Tribune, "of inveterate distrust
and antipathy." The position of R. B.
Hayes is that of a man, who by popular
verdict. is the most notorious poltroon the
country has ever produced. He accepted
q stolen Office, knowing it to be stolen-he
pocketed the salary and perquisites of the
Office, knowing the emoluments belonged to
another man. The sentence of the people
has been pronounced, and though r. B.
Hayes escaped imprisonment. he has not
escaped conviction-and as the Tribune
says of other criminals far less guilty than
Hayes, "they are made to realize that So
ciety has not pardoned and never will
pardon them: that wherever they go they
must drag their disgrace and forever be
liable to ruinous disclosure" r. B. Hayes
the Republican ex-President is living ex-
position of Republicanism,i its methods and
its crimes-its corruption and its rotten
ness. That such man should seek to
place himself at the head Of any sort OF q
Prison Reform organization is beyond or
binary explanation. Perhaps Hayes is try
ing 10 reform himself upon the theory that
man by Juggling away at his boot straps
can lift himself over a fence. But r. B.
Hayes. after all, lives for a valuable pur-
pose, since when anyone wants to know
what Republication is, they have only to
know by what crimes he occupied the
Office to which the American people elected

The Baby Beavers Dam.
Lewiston Journal.

81 know of naturalist down in Eastern
Maine" said we'll known Maine ollege
professor yesterday, ''who wouldn't be con-
WINGED that beavers could build dams till
he saw it done with his own eyes. He is
an awful incredulous fellow, anyway. l
bought baby beaver of a hunter WHO
traps them, one day, and sent him to my
sceptical friend. He grew greatly attached
to the little fellow and kept him in the
house, but he often wrote me that his
beaver didn't show any propensity at all
for dam building. One Monday, washing
day, his wife set a leaky pail full OF
water on the kitchen floor. The
beaver was in the kitchen, he was only
a baby then, too, and he saw the
water oozing out of crack in he pail. He
scampered out into the yard, brought in a
chip and began building his dam. The
naturalist was summoned. He watched
the little fellow, thunderstruck. Said he,
Leave that pail there, wife, till doomsday,
If need be, and let's see what the little fell
low will do The beaver kept at it four
weeks, until he had built solid dam clean
around the pail. Ny naturalist friend is
quite beaver man to-day. They say, you
know, that way down East there is a
beaver dam that 100000 couldn't build
the like of. Oh! men don't know every
thing. The wasp knew how to make pa
per before we did"

GETTING 10 BE SERIOUS.

There Is a portion of Indiana, where If
reports be half true, condition of things
exists which demands speedy change. We
are hearing much, not too much, possibly,
nowadays, about anarchy and anarchists,
and the demand is made that anarchists
shall be hanged, not only because men
have been killed at their meetings, but
because their doctrines, teachings, ideas
and expressions lead to violence and blood
she'd. 1t is well to have a correct idea of
anarchy. Webster says, Anarchy is
"Want OF government; the state OF
society where there is no law or supreme
power, or where the laws are not efficient,
and individuals do what they please with
impunity."
Hence, an Anarchist, says Webster, is
Zone who excites revolt, or promotes
disorder In state"
The Counties of Harrison, Crawford and
Orange are, If reports are true, in state of
anarchy. These counties have an area OF
1,179 square miles, and an estimated popu-
Ialion of 81, Ola, and IL reports are true, or,
IL they approximate truth, then the laws OF
the counties named, the laws of the State
of Indiana, ''are not efficient" because Gin
dividuals do what they please with impu-
nifty"
We are informed there are organizations
known as white caps" or white cappers''
who have taken charge of these counties
In matters Of great Importance, in which
all law is set aside. and rules and regula-
tons made by themselves arel put into op-
Grafton. Homes are invaded, men and
women are dragged forth into the darkness
and whipped numerically. 1t goes for
nothing to say that In some cases,
or In numerous cases, these fagsl-
lasions are deserved; In no regard
does 1t palliste the offense, unless society
Is ready to justify anarchy.
There are occasionally instances when
